You should set the size of your presentation to match the size of your course to avoid image scaling

Under File gt Page Setup, set a custom size of 36.1 x 27.1cm (14.23 x10.67 inches). This equates to a course size of 1024 x 768

3Allow space for course navigationTop navigation

Allow space at the top and bottom of your PowerPoint slides to account for the navigation bars in your e-learning course.

For the default navigation, this equates to 32 pixels at the top and bottom of your presentation.

Bottom navigation 4Use a consistent slide master

Use a single slide master in your presentations

When you import presentations into Content Point, you have the option whether to include the slide master or not

This allows you to match presentations to the existing look of your e-learning courses

5Be consistent in the use of text

Use consistent fonts, sizes and colours in your presentations

Verdana font is recommended for readability in ane-learning course (avoid Arial and Times as they do not display well)

Use Format gt Replace Fonts to replace fonts in a presentation

Size text boxes slightly larger than they need to be, to avoid word wrapping when imported into Content Point

6Images in PowerPoint

Display images at their actual size in your presentations

Double click images and select Size gt Reset to reset image sizes

If you need to scale or crop images, do this in Microsoft Office Picture Manager then import them

Do not paste images directly from the clipboard as this can lead to problems when importing to Content Point

7Slide notes

Slide notes in PowerPoint are imported as slide notes in Content Point

Use PowerPoint slide notes to describe how slides should be improved in Content Point, e.g. Use a multiple choice quiz on this slide

8Complex slides

Complex slides (e.g. animations or build-ups) may not be recreated completely in Content Point

Consider recreating these slides as Flash movies for import into Content Point, e.g. use FlashSpring.

The content of these Flash movies (e.g. text and graphics) could be made content manageable in Content Point if required

9Importing PowerPoint slides into Content Point

Increase the Quality of images setting to improve quality

Use an existing background in the course if you want to match the imported slides to the course (also, dont import the Master Background)

Content Point will re-create animations (e.g. text appearance), actions (e.g. auto-navigation between slides) and text inputs but the result may not be desirable. Test by importing a few slides to Content Point

Content Point cannot replicate external file links and links to URLs. Remove these before importing as they can cause the import to fail.

Animations, actions, text inputs and file links can be re-created in Content Point if required.
